I'll start...
Cillian Murphy only as Tommy Shelby
Viggo Mortensen only as Aragorn.

I know it's been done before but it's Sunday evening and I'm bored!

Charlie Weber as Frank “The Hitman” Delfino in How to get away with Murder.

SocraticJunkieWannabe · 28/03/2021 20:18

100% Viggo. Such a disappointment in other films!

Feraltomcat · 28/03/2021 20:18

Rowan Atkinson as Blackadder II. I can't fathom that that is the same man as Mr bean 😂

@DisappearingGirl

Andrew Scott as the Hot Priest in Fleabag
He's lovely in a really charming Irish film called Handsome Devil too.

Jon Hamm in Mad Men

EarringsandLipstick · 28/03/2021 20:24

James Norton in Granchester. Loved him. Can't watch him in anything else as, to me, he's only Sidney!

HelloDulling · 28/03/2021 20:24

Chris Noth as Mr Big
BC as Sherlock.

CathyorClaire · 28/03/2021 20:25

Another vote for Philip Glenister and Gene Hunt.

I can see there's going to be a scrap out back for him.

TooMinty · 28/03/2021 20:25

Hugh Laurie as House

DissABrie · 28/03/2021 20:25

Tom Hiddleston in that kingkong movie

EarringsandLipstick · 28/03/2021 20:25

@AdelaideK

Jon Hamm in Mad Men
I get this. I hated Mad Men by the end. But Jon Hamm was great in earlier seasons. He has been shockingly bad - greasy-like - in anything else since.
BitOfFun · 28/03/2021 20:25

Jason Isaac as Jackson Brodie.

Blueuggboots · 28/03/2021 20:26

Sam Heughan as Jamie Fraser

EarringsandLipstick · 28/03/2021 20:28

@CourageCamille

Robert Hardy as Siegfried Farnon Blush
An odd choice 😂 but on that theme Peter Davidson as Tristan.

When I see him now, I'm like, 🧐

Crunchymum · 28/03/2021 20:28

Gabriel Macht as Harvey Specter.

AllDoneIn · 28/03/2021 20:29

I came on to say Viggo as Aragorn too 😁

LittlePearl · 28/03/2021 20:29

Colin Firth as Mr Darcy
Daniel Craig as James Bond

@Crunchymum

Gabriel Macht as Harvey Specter.
Yesss
Insomnia5 · 28/03/2021 20:29

Russell Crowe in gladiator

HopeClearwater · 28/03/2021 20:29

Laurence Fox as Hathaway. Such a great character. Such a knob IRL.

WellTidy · 28/03/2021 20:29

Harry Hamlin as Michael Kuzak LA Law (made quite an impression on me in the 80s in my early teenage years).

Kiefer Sutherland as Jack Bauer in early series of 24.

I’m not much of a fan of actors, or singers for that matter. I’m more of a sportsman or comedians fan.

EarringsandLipstick · 28/03/2021 20:30

@Insomnia5

Russell Crowe in gladiator
Russell Crowe in ... nothing. I do not get his appeal. In any way.
DeadButDelicious · 28/03/2021 20:30

Richard Roxburgh but only as Dracula in Van Helsing.

And another vote for Rowan Atkinson in Blackadder 2.

blissfulllife · 28/03/2021 20:30

Tommy Flanagan as chibs in sons of anarchy

WellTidy · 28/03/2021 20:30

How could I forget? Damien Lewis as Brodie in Homeland.
